MultEQ Tour
Traditional EQ is limited by a few bands that overlap
Parametric EQ is based on a different principle. Rather than using many control points, it uses bands. The theory is that the bands can be shaped to match the shape of the major peaks and dips and then invert them. This may work for a few broader problems, but lacks precision to solve the majority of sound problems. Furthermore, the bands interact with each other so pushing one up causes its neighboring bands to also change. Forcing the bands to be too narrow causes problems in the time domain that sound like ringing or smearing.
